Caribbean strikes: Hegseth claims learnt of survivors ‘hours later’; blames ‘fog of war’

Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth authorized a September military strike, later claiming ignorance of a second attack to eliminate survivors. He cited “fog of war” for not seeing them. President Trump also denied knowledge of the follow-up strike. Congress is investigating potential war-crime violations, with Hegseth calling a report on his orders “fabricated.”
